Naveen mixed the crushed herbs with a small pool of water in his palm. She watched the subtle flex of tendons in his hand, the sure way he blended the mixture, the lingering heat emanating from his skin.
“His touch feels different today,” she realized, “not just… helpful. It feels like it reaches deeper. Like he’s here—not just in body, but in every quiet intention.”
 
“This should help,” he whispered as he applied the paste. His fingers moved in slow, soothing circles, rubbing the mixture gently into her skin. Each pass sent a soft shiver through her, her body relaxing under the warmth of his hands.
 
She let her eyes drift closed briefly.
“I didn’t know I needed this… this softness, this care. I feel… cherished.”
 
When she opened them again, he was still working, his posture slightly hunched, shoulders relaxed, his breath brushing faintly across her skin. She didn’t speak. The silence felt sacred, an unbroken thread stretching between them.
 
He finally looked up. Their eyes met, and held.
 
Her breath caught.
 
There was something almost vulnerable in his gaze, a quiet emotion he didn’t try to hide. She felt her chest tighten, warmth pooling low inside her.
“Why does this feel so intimate?” she wondered. “How can a touch so simple feel like it’s unraveling all my defenses?”
 
He didn’t hold her gaze long, but the moment lingered, thick with something unspoken.
 
“It should feel a little better now,” he said, lifting himself slightly to assess her ankle.
 
She moved her foot carefully. The pain was dulled. She smiled.
“It does. Much better.”
 
“Good,” he said, a quiet satisfaction in his voice. “Then no walking around until evening.”
 
She leaned back against the stone wall, smiling.
“You sound like you’re in charge.”
 
That earned a soft laugh, warm, familiar, grounding.
“Only until you can walk again.”
 
As the forest outside fell into a calm hush, the amber light slipping into deeper hues, the stillness between them grew warmer, heavier. It wasn’t uncomfortable, it felt like a cocoon, a small sanctuary built from shared survival and unspoken affection.
 
He gathered the bowl and herbs, cleaning up slowly. She watched him, unable to stop the soft smile spreading across her lips. Her heart felt strangely full, the warmth inside her blooming with a tenderness she could not yet name.
 
But when he set the bowl aside and turned back, something shifted quietly between them.
 
He didn’t move away.
